Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

The only thing I've seen/heard about him from camp and practice is that he's an impressive ST's player who has decent receiving skills.

The kid played well tonight whether you want to acknowledge it or not. I could care less how someone looks in camp right now because everyone looks rough. These games are the ultimate challenge because there is a lack of familiarity there. How will they respond going up against players they don't see every day.

LaQuan made some good receptions and made some good plays with his feet after the catch.

Mark Clayton was the king of impressive practices and it never helped him during games.

I'm in no way saying that the kid should be our #2 receiver, but what I am saying is that in 1 game he's shown more receiving prowess and capability than Harper and Marcus Smith have in 3 seasons.

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

Isn't Cousins always the one to get in camp fights? Maybe they don't want to cut him because they're afraid he'll go postal?

Seriously, we need an alternative.

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

I'd go after Kazcur or Shawn Andrews if I was hellbent on having Yanda stay at RG.

Andrews started almost every game last year for the Giants at LT. At RT, I think he'd be pretty decent. Same with Kazcur.

For RG and kick out Yanda:
Trai Essex would be on my short list. He's ok. Not great, but better than anyone else outside of Grubbs and Yanda at OG right now. Leonard Davis would be a decent option as well.

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

Holy shit. I'm watching the replay on NFLN and during the second Flacco drive Mattsion gets beat, turns around and goes after the guy who beat him. He lunges at the guy missing Flacco's leg by a matter of inches.

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

Oh wow...if he had hit Flacco and knocked him out for the year, I think Greg Mattison might have to sneak him in at Michigan to pose as a college student, just to get him away from the mob with torches.

Yeah it was WAY too close. The guy who beat Mattison wasn't any closer to hitting Flacco than he was when he just recklessly dove at the guy with Flacco standing right there.

The problem really is that...these guys have been out there all along. Ozzie has known about Cousins' abilities all along. And he's done NOTHING.

So why would we expect him to make a move now, if he wouldn't before?

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

Maybe...but I hope Ozzie is sitting there shaking his head, going "I REALLY should have seen this coming. EVERYBODY knows Cousins can't handle his shit" My 5 month old daughter could tell him Cousins can't handle his own jock.

Re: Game Thread - Week 1 Preseason - Eagles

For Cousins it isn't "just the first game" -- isn't this his third year? How could the FO and coaching staff NOT know how bad he is? Did they think he would magically transform during an off-season with no OTAs? Did they REALLY count on a 3rd rounder to start?
Or was it supposed to be last year's 6th rounder?

Please tell me again about "the plan." I think I missed the part of "the plan" that covered backup C. And I must have misunderstood "the plan" for OT. And WR? Is there a "plan" for WR? The D looks like it will be OK, but the O needs a new plan.
